New collector, how legit is gemporia?

[TheManWithNoName]

Don’t the buyers of these items ever do any research?

The problem is, some of these customers believe the 'research' that the presenters and people like Troth tell them - and they believe every word of it. If Troth told them the sky was green, they'd believe it.

You only have to see some of the messages that viewers send it to see how gullible or deluded they are.

I think the viewers that know better ditched them years ago - and that's why Gemporia appear to be desperate to claw viewers/buyers back with things such as the 'refer a friend' scheme and other gimmicks they're doing on Gem Collector such as 'win £50' hours, etc.

The other thing with Gemporia..apart from their dodgy sales tactics, you get presenters like the Great El telling us how everything from Cashmere( which she said is ethically produced yet the "gallery of fools " couldnt confirm or deny...to freshwater pearls which are not ethically produced because a natural growth is ***** to add grit to it...are ethical......maybe people at gemporia from Jeff down need a lesson in ethics....but like our current govt, i don't think they care..as long as fools follow them.

The last government was worse.

Both as bad as each other. We got rid of the awful blue Tories and ended up with the awful red Tories instead

I agree. All parties are the SAME, just with a different colour tie.

The three 'big' parties are anyway. The only different ones are the smaller parties - but there's more chance of me going to the moon tomorrow than any of those being elected due to the ridiculous and outdated 'first past the post' system - but that's a whole new debate for an entirely different forum lol

When did you cap that? 10 years ago?

Looks a bit out of date that. This updated version seems more appropriate.

Dear ShoppingTellyForum

Your recent post has been brought to our attention by our Brand Ambassador Ellis Ward (hello, Ellis) and we would like to correct some recent misinformation, in the spirit of the unbiased not-at-all-like-the-Khmer-Rouge service foisted on the licence fee payer known as BBC Verify.

We object strongly to the suggestion that our services are as limited as you describe.

Gemporia offers overpriced jewellery set in a range of metals, to a bare minimum standard, that also qualifies for only a six month warranty and not just the majority set in gold tone. Further, we would like to point out that, should you take advantage of our free re-sizing service, we don't guarantee our products for even six months. Our information hours, given by experts (hello, Ellis) are on a range of topics of interest to the modern day audience, including the popular "How To Cure Bunions with a quartz", "Angels exist and are available dyed from China" and other important gaslighting boddice-rippers such as "There are only six colours in the spectrum" and "Bamboo clothing is environmentally ethical" (https:clickforbullsheethere.com).

We look forward to you being taken advantage of in the future. Please accept our offer to apply a discount code of -50% on anything from our new shipment from China.

Warmest Regards
